Here’s another case of a gun saving a person from an attack. I’m attempting to get further info, but this is a verrrry interesting story that will not make the gun stats. 

Undoubtedly she saved herself from rape by this attacker. 

Note to Colorado lawmakers: My guess is that a rape whistle would not have saved her. Looks like this 22 year old victim chose the “Conservative Rape Tip” to save herself.
